Weighed some different cranks, decided to stick with my Stolen cranks.

do the chase hawk tyres have more of a flat surface, kind of like motorcycle tyres?

rode it three times this week, first time in 6 weeks proper... put my pegs back on, turns out I can only ride trails because it doesn't hurt my ankle (as long as I clear the jumps dubbed "the kiddies jumps" at the local spot). will probably take pegs off again, the universe has turned upside-fucking-down. Went from being at a level I was chuffed with to not even being able to hop properly. Either way, trails are fun.

I cut off 1/4 inch off of each of my grips to put my hands farther apart after riding a bike with a little wider bars and liking it.

Got a deal on a Fit DLR stem at my lbs for my cruiser.

I'm between work assignments and the town I've made homebase until the next job comes through has a decent little cement park. I've been enjoying some pretty nice hips and quarters everyday this past week or so.

I bought a Re-mix this week after my Mix died. I think my OG sunday frame is twisted too, bought a second hand Funday off Ebay which I should hopefully be picking up this weekend.

Painted bars/forks/cranks. Bought a new BB bearing and marmoset bearing from my local bearing supplier.

Haven't ridden in a month, fuckin' killing me.

You'd better pick up some bearings for that remix while you can, those things won't last long.

Really? :/

It uses 6802s in the shell, the same bearings usually used in drivers, if you're careful they might survive, but it's probably best to have a set of bearings on hand...

Rode my new hardtail round some local trails and remembered why I got a road bike for riding round here. Mud here is sticky as fuck and it just gathers in the rear triangle. Need to clean it out but I can't be fucked with it at the minute

Should be writing a report, slangin bike parts instead.

I've been out of riding for some few months now and sold a few parts on the bike
Just got off the phone from Zeal and ordered a set of Superstar sweet sweep bars and Alone Spork forks

I have a Fly stem and flatware grips to go on.
